That’s a good point. We’ve offered to share our place with family flying in. We don’t really have room for them. Kids will be sleeping on camp mats and sharing bedrooms, adults will be sleeping on the sofa bed. It’ll be tight. But we’ll make it work if they need a roof.
Sorry I probably wasnt clear. Grandparents have tons of space for us. but the extended family doesnt have space, and their place is 2 hours away. All their kids/grandkids and stuff are coming and they get first dibs apparently. Sort of makes sense I guess, they’d be… tinyest’s second cousins I think?
I’m sorry but if the in-laws have no place for their child, child’s spouse and their grandchild…fuck’em.
That’s piss poor parenting.
I would give up my own bedroom and sleep on couches for such guests!!! Or blow up mattresses!!

No. It doesn’t make sense. Locals don’t get dibs!!
No matter what, family is important, but looks after your own arse and wallet.
